“…Not only spatial properties, but also the information content of audio can have a strong influence on the subjective perception of space. The subjective perception of space never corresponds to its technical presentation as a map (Popplow and Scherffig 2013). In a hybrid space [i.e., a digital information layer, bound to a physical location and thus intertwining the digital and real worlds (de Souza e Silva 2006)], the changes in the digital layer also change the perception of the real or spatial layer.…”

“…This could be different with augmented auditory information. Of course, audio information cannot augment the reality to such extent as visual AR, but rather subtle changes, when done correctly, can lead to a seamless experience, as geographical locations are far more than points on a map-they are defined by the subjective perception of the human agents (Popplow and Scherffig 2013).…”

We live in an age in which digital media is omnipresent and augmented reality is beginning to find its way into our everyday lives, GPS allows us to determine our position with meter precision and the sensor capabilities of smartphones are increasing. All these technologies in combination enable us to explore one of the oldest human art forms in a new way: storytelling. The presented work aims at developing approaches that combine different elements of audio media playback, geolocation and other sensor capabilities of smartphones to allow the creation of immersive geolocated narratives within a mobile application. Thus, the narrative can be precisely adjusted to the specific spatial and temporal context of the user. One of the main goals of such a geolocated narrative would be to influence the cognitive processing of the users. As the visual perception of the location stays the same while using the app, it is only the auditory cognition that causes a subtle enhancement and thus alteration of the reality which could result in a very strong sense of immersion. There are many location-based audio applications on the market. Most of them are intended for tourism in the form of an audio tour guide. Some of those applications have been analyzed before developing our own ideas on how to intertwine sound, space and time into an immersive mobile application for storytelling with semi-linear narrative structures including a map. Possible features could be influenceability of the narrative by, e.g., speed or approach direction of the user, sound movement over time on predetermined routes, etc. The first prototype implemented some audiovisual presentations among others. Keywords Audiovisual cartography • Multimedia cartography • Locative media • Storytelling • Mobile mapping Zusammenfassung Wir leben in einem Zeitalter, in welchem digitale Medien omnipräsent sind und Augmented Reality Einzug ins tägliche Leben erhält, in dem GPS uns befähigt, unsere Position mit Meter-Genauigkeit zu bestimmen und sich das Sensor-Potential von Smartphones erhöht. Das Zusammenspiel all dieser Technologien erlaubt es, eine der ältesten Kunstformen neu zu entdecken: die Erzählkunst. Die vorliegende Arbeit hat zum Ziel, Ansätze zu entwickeln, welche verschiedene Elemente der Audio-Wiedergabe, Geolokalisierung und andere Sensor-Fähigkeiten kombinieren, um immersive, räumlich verortete Narrative für eine mobile Anwendung zu kreieren. Damit können Geschichten präzise an den spezifischen räumlich-zeitlichen Kontext des Nutzers angepasst werden. Die Hauptabsicht einer solchen ortbezogenen Geschichte ist es, die kognitive Wahrnehmung des Nutzers zu beeinflussen. Da während der App-Nutzung die visuelle Wahrnehmung der Umgebung gleich bleibt, ist es nur die auditive Wahrnehmung, welche eine subtile Anreicherung und damit eine Veränderung der Realität bewirkt, was ein starkes immersives Erleben hervorrufen kann. Es sind zahlreiche ortbasierte Audio-Anwendungen auf dem Markt. Bei den meisten handelt es sich um touristische Audio-Führer. Einige dieser Anwen...
